Apologies if I come off a tad naive, but I am looking for advice from some more experienced in the community. I am very fresh out of college and holding a very safe developer job a medium sized company working on enterprise software. This job leaves me feeling like an incredibly small fish in a very large pond. My contributions to my team and company seem minimal at best. I don't feel like this is normal, and have had trouble dealing with bouts of burnout. I regularly work on side projects, and other outside apps that I find rewarding to the point where I get immediately wrapped up in whatever I'm creating. So for any HN'ers out there am I just suffering from "Whiny Youngster Syndrome", or could this be a legitimate cause to look for greener pastures?
